Summary:Dermatologists regularly encounter skin-related manifestations tied to the menopause transition, from hair loss and acne to vaginal dryness and hyperhidrosis. Yet, despite the frequency and significance of these presentations, there remains a conspicuous gap when it comes to training dermatologists in menopause care. This omission is highlighted by the absence of menopause-related content and guidance in dermatological educational materials. This article emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to menopause care in dermatology and suggests strategies to address the existing knowledge and practice gap.
